This summer, we are having theme weeks! Each week Daredevil will be given a theme. This theme will be used throughout all of his ABA shifts and we will incorporate things about the theme during downtime, too.
Each week, I'll share what we did for each week. We are hoping to be sure that we hit the following things every week:
-Field Trip
-Library Trip to pick out books about the theme
-Sensory Bin
-Snack
-Art Projects
-Game/Activity
His weekly themes are:
June 22 - Gardening
June 29 - Weather
July 6 - Camping
July 13 - Animals
July 20 - Water
July 27 - Dinosaurs/Fossils
August 3 - Outer Space
August 10 - Bugs/Insects
August 17 - All About Me
I'm really looking forward to the fun and all the cool, new stuff Daredevil will learn and experience this summer. What do you think we have to incorporate into his weeks?

Questions, questions, questions
Daredevil started asking questions on his own a few months ago, but it became part of our May 1st treatment plan. This means that his therapists built off of what he was doing on his own and helped him flourish.
But let me tell you, flourish he did. He is so inquisitive. He wants to know everything about everything. It's interesting to hear where he takes the conversations and what he is curious about. I just love him and his inquisitive and adventurous heart!
Here's a sampling of a recent conversation:
O: Where's Switzerland?
M: It's in Europe.
O: I want to go to Europe. I want to go there.
M: You want to go to Switzerland, in Europe?
O: Yes, Switzerland. How far is away is Switzerland?
Oh boy. Add another place to his must visit list. It currently includes returning to Costa Rica and Disney World/Land, going to Thomas Land in Boston once it opens and going to Switzerland to go on the giant jungle gym/bouncy house.
Everything right now is what is that? What is that called? When is that? Can I go to August? Can we go there? What do they do? What is the road made of? What is in cement? What state is Seattle in? Where is Arizona? What's an island? Where is Hawaii? What is our state called?
I just love where his mind goes! He's really into geography right now and one of his favorite things to do is look at the Atlas in UJ's car. Another addition to the Christmas list, too.

Things I miss
I'm always so excited that Daredevil is learning and growing everyday, but there are still some things I'll miss. I'm sad when some things go.
I remember when we had to say goodbye to EIEIEI. I was sure glad he could actually say EIEIO, but EIEIEI was so sweet.
Recently, we've said goodbye to these sweet things:
Mamy is now Amy.
Baneena is now banana.
Flagingo is now flamingo.
His speech and pronunciation is so improved. His sentence structures are well formed and complete. His number of words per sentence is smack dab in the middle of the normal range (MLU 3.58; normal is 3-3.75 for his age group).
What I find hilarious is that he is so comfortable with ABA that he's started giving Mr Tech Guy and I ABA sessions. He loves taking the boat and submarine when he's in the bath and asking us which one goes under the sea and which one goes on top of the sea. If you get it right, he'll cheer for you. If you get it wrong, he'll tell you the right answer, ask you another question and then repeat the initial question just like during ABA.
O: Momma, which one goes under the sea?
M: The boat.
O: No, the submarine goes under the sea. What's your name?
M: Momma.
O: Touch your nose.
M: (I touch my nose.)
O: Which one goes under the sea?
M: The submarine.
O: Yay!
It is hysterical. I love my boy.

Dude is Funny
Daredevil's language keeps having these mini-explosions, if you will. We are amazed at his progress in just a few months.
He is combining two or three word phrases all the time now! Tickle neck, stop singing, open gate, hi kelly, bye bye danny, i love you gammy, move please, didaddy drink, big blocks, gray castle, red dump, yellow bus, yellow digger, more french fries, read more, blue thomas, go up, come down, white ice cream, inside store, and on and on and on! Literally everything is 2 words or more. I love hearing him talk and sing all the time... and the words are understandable (at least to me)! It is unbelievable!
We're working on his articulation and strengthening some of his mouth muscles. We're also working on his eating habits and we're about to start potty training! He is a busy boy, but I just would never have imagined how far he'd come in a few months!
I know it's hard to believe, but I think yesterday is the first day in the history of Daredevil's life that I haven't taken a picture of him.... I know Gammy and Aunt Stephie will be upset... sorry! He was super cute! He stayed in his pajama shirt all day... he refused to let me change his shirt until bath time. :)
Another reason dude is funny. I found some material similar to his Aden and Anais blankies that he always has with him, so I decided to get a yard and attempt to make one for him on the cheap. Hah. As if I could pull one over on him. Every time I hand it to him, he hands it back and goes to his closet to get a "real" one. I've attempted this on several occasions since getting it finished. I guess he just isn't having the fake kind.

Prepping for Disney
In Daredevil's 2.5 years on this Earth, we've been to Disney World and Disneyland a total of 5 times; 6 coming up here soon! I'm an over-planner by trade, but this time I'm doing even more research and planning to ensure Daredevil's safety and enjoyment while there.
Safety:
Although we will be packing our stroller, Daredevil will be wanting to walk and explore solo. While he is getting great at following verbal instructions, staying near and holding hands, there's always that one time you fear he'll wander, refuse to listen, run. In an effort to let him walk on his own - holding our hands 99.9% of the time - we're spending a lot of time in stores, malls, zoos, etc letting him walk solo and asking him verbally to follow instructions. He's actually done remarkably well! We've been doing this in a variety of settings and building up his (and our) confidence.
We've also ordered the Buddy Tag. Daredevil will have a bracelet with a bluetooth chip in it that will alert my phone when he's further than 40 feet away and direct me to his current location.
We're also ordering temporary tattoos and stickers with our cell phone number listed. Then we'll apply it to his forearm and backside of his shirt every morning we go into the parks as a back-up plan in case he does get away from us. It may be overkill, but I feel more secure and prepared having a few failsafes in place.
Enjoyment:
Since Daredevil is on the spectrum, with a note from his physician and therapist, we can get a Guest Assistant Card. This card will allow us to wait for our ride/experiences in a different, less crowded location. It won't lessen our wait but it'll lessen his frustrations. If your child has special needs, this is a must. I'm hoping this will alleviate some overstimulation.
Daredevil's senior therapist and I will be working together to create a couple things that should help us on our trip. 1. We will be making some social stories for Daredevil so he will know more of what to expect. He is really great at understanding first, then but when there are several steps involved he gets a bit confused. The social story show the airplane, hotel, parks, etc. It will help Daredevil to visually understand what the steps will be for his days while on vacation and thus out of routine. 2. The second thing we're working on is a Disney activity "menu" that we'll take with us. The folder will have pictures of each of the Disney parks, Universal Studios, Downtown Disney and the Disney beach/pools. That way, we can use it like a menu for Daredevil to select his choices for the day. Daredevil has mastered requesting using 1-2 word utterances, but sometimes it is hard to understand what he's requesting so this should alleviate some problems and miscommunications.
It may seem like a lot of work, maybe overdoing it, but a little preparation could make our time away a little more enjoyable. And, let me tell you, this boy deserves every ounce of downtime and enjoyment he can get!

Neglect
It's been over a month since I lasted posted. I know I've been neglecting you, but life is busy. A different busy. A hurry up and wait, day in and day out busy. I'm the personal assistant to an extremely busy 2 year old. I hustle and bustle him from one place to another or one appointment to another. I either wait on him during his therapy or join him, depending on what it is. We are currently getting 33 hours a week of ABA, 2 hours a week of speech and 1 hour a week of SOS feeding therapy. This is all on top of 6 hours of mainstream preschool and a 1 hour a week Zumbini class. He has a super full schedule. When I'm not joining him in therapy, I wish I could say that I'm reading a novel or watching a soap opera, but I'm not. I'm busy. I'm calling to verify that he'll get proper accommodations during said Zumbini class. I'm prepping for my next meeting with my therapist (we're doing Beth Moore Bible study together which has .5-1 hr of homework per day give or take). I'm learning to be an autism mom, cleaning up between therapists, giving the dogs attention, scheduling the maintenance guy, managing renovations, prepping snack for his class, charting my food/calorie intake, making dinner, managing meltdowns, and on and on.
I'm not telling you this for pity. I don't want pity. We are all busy. But simply to give you a real life glimpse into what it's like when your child has special needs. I'm so blessed that we're getting our ABA intensive therapy at such a young age! Daredevil is growing by leaps and bounds.... but there are days when I'm appalled at the condition of my home but I can't cancel therapy because my house is a wreck so I have to begrudgingly let these people into my house that looks like toys r us threw up inside and a veggie garden reproduced on my counters. Pre therapy, on those days, I could shut the door and pull the drapes. We could hide away and play the day away. Not anymore. My 2 year old has a full time job. His schedule is tetris. It seems unbelievable, but it all works. But I tell you what, he works his booty off. Some days he just craves quiet, alone time. Some days therapy is fun, some days therapy is hard.
I'm rambling now, basically just to tell you that the neglect hasn't been intentional. A day turns into a week, turns into a month. So here we are.
This is what we were doing while I was neglecting the blog.
I'll post soon!

Progress is Progress
Progress is progress no matter how small.
Words our Daredevil can now say...
Hi
Bye-bye
Move
Up
Down
Out
Hop
Hot
More
Yellow
Blue
Orange
Green
Bear
Sheep
Deer
Cheetah
Dino
Mom/Momma
Dad/Dada
Nene (Grandma)
Papa
There it is
There he is
Thank you
Animal Sounds a'plenty:
Moo
Woof woof
Oink
Roar
Rrrrr
Baa
Ssss/Hsss
Meow
... as well as snorting, chomping, spitting, etc for hippo, giraffe and camel and many more
I can not tell you how exciting it has been to watch his expressive language just blow up. He has new words almost daily or at least 4 per week. We still haven't found nouns that he doesn't know... I guess that isn't true. We had to explain what a houseplant was the other day and sometimes he gets jaguar and cheetah mixed up. But otherwise this dude knows his stuff! Serious. This explosion of language is just awesome.
We're having a shy day today, but that's ok. I get extra momma snuggles on shy days.

Great Expectations
I didn't know what to title this post, I don't even know if I want to write this post. I don't like to complain because despite our shortfalls and problems, we are very blessed.
But sometimes I want to be honest and use this blog as a place to vent and scream and cry... this post may be one of those pity parties.
Anyway, here goes. Our only tradition in Madison is to go to the Verona Hometown Days fireworks each year. It's a fun little thing we've done since we moved here.
This year we were excited to take Daredevil back because he enjoyed them last year and loved the fireworks at both Disney World and Disneyland.
We had a blast waiting for the show to begin! In our pjs all snuggled up under the blankets! We played with dinosaurs, talked, sang, laughed. Super fun stuff. Magical. Perfect. Beautiful.
And then the first boom booms started going off. Instant racing heart. Instantly in my arms. Instantly trying to get away. He didn't scream, he didn't cry, but he was scared. Scared to death.
My heart broke for him. Something that should've brought joy and excitement brought fear and anxiety. We got out of there as soon as we could get back to the car. Daredevil was great once we got in the car. Me, however? I cried all the way home. I cried because I wanted him to enjoy it. I cried because there are things I want him to experience and love that he doesn't and possibly never will. I cried for myself. I cried for all the things I'm unsure if he'll ever do or ever want to do/experience. It was just a reminder of where we are and how we have to take things slowly, differently. My expectations need to be changed.
Daredevil also got his molars last week so it wasn't a fun week anyway. I dealt with this a lot. A lot!
On Saturday, he was beginning to feel better so we thought we'd try to go to a party his therapy company was putting on.
We got out of the car, walked toward the parking lot festival, he spotted Bucky, started crying, we tried to distract him with a corn hole type game, he pulled Mr Tech Guy to the car and pointed to the door and said "in." This whole scenario took less than a minute. It took longer to buckle him in the carseat.
Another fail for mom. I was sad, but I didn't cry. He just wasn't ready for Bucky and wasn't interested in the festival. He had much more fun at the park we took him to after.
I just have to remember that even though I want him to enjoy something, doesn't mean he will and that's ok. He's allowed to have things he doesn't like. I love him for who he is and what he enjoys. My expectations just sometimes get in the way of remembering that.

I found a blog.
As you might've guessed, I enjoying reading up on the blogosphere. Since getting our diagnosis, I've been reading a lot... books, blogs, articles... just so I'm up to date on all ASD news and information.
I found a blog that feels right to me. I feel like she's talking to me. I understand her on so many many levels. She is so brave and has the courage to say things that I've only said to myself. I feel understood by her and she doesn't even know who I am.
Here's the post she wrote the day she found her oldest son was on the spectrum. http://www.lifewithgreyson.blogspot.com/2012/03/awareness.html
I'm excited to follow her journey, learn from her experiences and find the courage to share my own.

A day in the life of our new normal...
I've been joking to everyone about living our new normal life, but it's really the truth. Our life is just different. Here's a glimpse at what yesterday looked like.
6:30 AM - up, dressed, breakfast, ready for the day
7:30 AM - Trains and music
8:00 AM - Kari and Kelly arrive. ABA until 10
10:00 AM - Last spring playgroup with our friends!
11:30 AM - Wash hand, face, change pants, eat lunch
12:30 PM - Downtime (book, iPad, TV show)
1:30 PM - Trains and puzzles
3:00 PM - Danny arrives for more ABA.
5:00 PM - Danny heads out. Mr Tech Guy and Twin arrive home. Daredevil gets bath, medicine and pjs.
6:00 PM - Daredevil gets juice and iPad in chair while we prep dinner.
6:15 PM - Find Daredevil asleep in chair. (He sleeps through the night until 7:00 AM)
We are much more scheduled now. We have minimal downtime. We don't get to go places daily like we used to but it makes it more fun when we do get to go.
And so far everyone is enjoying Daredevil's new friends...
We're off to another busy day in the new normal! Have a good one.
